June 3, 2016: Memorial Day made for a short week, and a slow news cycle. VW launched its #PinkBeetle (that’s its official name), and Audi the new A5 Coupe, but one wasn’t important to anyone other than Barbie or a Mary Kay devotee, and the other was short on information. On the other hand, the folks at Advanced Innovative Engineering in the U.K. showed off its latest rotary engine design in a Westfield sports car, and touted it as the perfect motor for a light sports car, series hybrid or range-extender EV. It’s chock-full of interesting tech, including a closed cooling system that reduces oil loss. Staying with cooling, Honda outlined the work necessary to remove the excess heat from its Acura NSX sports car while improving downforce and reducing aerodynamic drag. British Motor Heritage, those hearty folks who supply everything from panels to bodies for MGBs, Minis and more have been using racing to improve the breed. A range of parts are available for MGB racers, and Midget and Sprite owners can order race-proven complete tubs for their restoration or race projects. Jeep’s Renegade is the first member of the family to be built outside of the U.S. on a non-Jeep platform. Does it measure up, or is its true calling in attracting the young at heart with deep pockets?
